(3 reviews) Posted by ChrisMc  

My wife is from Hawaii, and one of her favorite restaurants is Russell Siu's Kaka'Aku Kitchen - she loves their five-spice shoyu chicken. (Shoyu chicken is cut-up chicken slow-cooked in a soy sauce-based liquid). I found a Sam Choy recipe for... MORE»

White Fungus Soup

Posted by ChrisMc  

This is a recipe for a traditional Chinese soup. I first tried it at Yong Sing in Honolulu. I found this recipe at chinesefooddiy.com. A couple of tips - do not use bouillon! Use either prepared broth (like that which one can buy in cartons) or,... MORE»

Lemon Salmon Burgers

Want to fire up the grill? Tired of chunks of beef? (Actually, I live in Nebraska - I could be killed for saying that.) Try these lighter burgers as a change - nice for a more elegant grilling, and very easy to make. Prep time include chilling time. MORE»

Caramelized Lemongrass Chicken Thighs

(6 reviews) Posted by ChrisMc  

This is a recipe I came across in a cookbook I had had for some time, and finally decided to make. It was made very clear to me that this was a recipe which I had better make again, as it went over VERY well. This also works with pieces of a whole... MORE»

Citrus Teriyaki Salmon

(10 reviews) Posted by ChrisMc  

Teriyaki salmon is a traditional Japanese dish - this recipe adds some citrus tang to it. I've also made this recipe substituting pink grapefruit juice cocktail for some of the orange juice (about 2/3 cup orange, 1/3 cup grapefruit). Last time I... MORE»

Cranberry Pork Chops

(7 reviews) Posted by ChrisMc  

I recommend making the effort to use cider and stock, rather than juice and broth - it really adds considerable flavor. This is another recipe with a very "fall" feeling - nice and rich, but most of the flavor comes from fruit rather than fat. MORE»

Shiitake Apple Risotto

Posted by ChrisMc  

Here's another fall-tasting recipe with apples. This is actually fairly low in fat, and vegan as written. If desired, you can add 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese - stir it in just before serving. MORE»

Sauteed Chicken with Apples

Posted by ChrisMc  

Here's a flavorful fall dish. I like to use flavorful, slightly tart green apples. I strongly recommend using cider instead of apple juice, too - it adds much more flavor. MORE»

Herbed Pork with Shiitake Mushrooms

Posted by ChrisMc  

A fairly light dinner - the shiitake mushrooms add a rich flavor, though. This is a lot of mushrooms - I've had my best luck finding them (dried) at Asian food stores for a reasonable price. MORE»

Egg-Flower Soup

Posted by ChrisMc  

Very simple, very quick - good comfort soup when it's cold out. Try this with stock instead of broth - it makes a noticable difference. I can find premade stock pretty easily now, and like it much better. The recipe (originally from chopstix.net)... MORE»

Gingered Pork Chops

(1 reviews) Posted by ChrisMc  

I always use the boneless chops, so don't know how bone-in chops would work (and I'm not that curious, either). The pork really doesn't need to marinate much - this is more of a glaze than a marinade. MORE»

Soba Noodle Salad with Ginger-Peanut Dressing

(1 reviews) Posted by ChrisMc  

Soba are Japanese buckwheat noodles - you can find them at some grocery stores; if not, any Asian food store should have them. (The recipe originally called for ramen, but I just couldn't do that to people). I've also had good luck finding dried... MORE»

Ginger-Mustard Glazed Steak

Posted by ChrisMc  

This quick glaze for steak makes a nice meal for two if you have a little time to let it marinate it; otherwise, set it up the night before, and you'll have flavorful steaks ready to grill when you get home. These work on a regular grill, a... MORE»
